Lively Performances and New Voices
Get excited for all of the amazing shows coming our way this month! There are still great seats for Thompson Square, a charged and gutsy performance not to be missed! This sexy, dynamic duo creates a chart-topping, modern-day country with their The Civil Wars-meets-Nashville sound. You will love them.
If you’re looking for a different vibe, Tinariwen is hypnotic and chill, filling the stage with their guitar-shredding blues. This band infuses traditional Tuareg songs with western rock for a truly amazing event. I’m so excited about this group—NPR calls them “music’s true rebels” and I couldn’t agree more.
Tried and true, Cowboy Junkies will bring their 30 years of country, blues, and folk to the Historic Theater. Their original work astounds, but their covers and traditional songs honor those who came before them. They come to Portsmouth a week after the release of their latest album, All That Reckoning, so this will be a special occasion to see them!
Straight No Chaser returns to Portsmouth with their captivating harmony and humor. Covering everything from traditional a cappella tunes to the latest pop, to their own original songs. Truly, this bunch is unforgettable, which is why we love bringing them back.
Always looking ahead, I am excited to see Seu Jorge with his smooth samba and David Bowie covers, as well as our annual Telluride by the Sea festival—nine movies in three days! Music legends Renée Fleming and Boz Scaggs will visit in October and November, and Lee Child sends his beloved character, Jack Reacher, to New Hampshire.
If you feel like you missed the memo, new shows drop in all the time. Keep your eye out for new shows by signing up for the enews for the most up-to-date info. Upcoming shows are announced to members in advance of the First Saturday on sale, but we announce shows throughout the month as well. See you in the theater soon!
